Yang Jian and several of his brothers were originally rebels and derogatories, but they were thieves in the archives of the court captains of the Great Zhou Empire.

Yang Ci expelled them from the Yang clan, and Emperor Qi could not bear to kill them all, so he changed the sentence to exile. But that's not much worse than death, and even more terrible than death.

Originally, with the guilt of Yang Jian and others, it was impossible to return to the Shendu, let alone hold an official position in the imperial court again. However, at this time, the Son of Heaven has become a puppet, and the gods and even the entire Central Plains are Huan Wu's final say. The rebellion case decades ago, but after all, it was decided by Emperor Qi himself, and Huan Wu was a courtier of the Great Zhou, so it was impossible to overturn this case clearly.

Accumulate meritorious deeds and defend against the enemy. Change your mind and face and reincarnate as a human being. No matter how difficult the country is, it will not waste good talents.

Huan Wu used this reason to reactivate Yang Jian and the others. However, after all, Yang Jian and the others had been expelled from the Yang clan by Yang Ci, and they were outcasts with no clan, and their status was even more humble than that of slaves, and even Huan Wu could not let them go back. Huan Wu can't be Yang Xian's master, let alone this master. Moreover, in order to show that they are cut from the past, and in order to show that they can be people again, Huan Wu played the Son of Heaven and re-bestowed the clan for these courtiers who had made great contributions to the Great Zhou.

The Son of Heaven replied to the decree and gave the family a sheep!

In fact, all this has been planned a long time ago, and the Son of Heaven is just going through the motions.

As a result, Yang Jian and thousands of people regained their surnames and changed their names to sheep. And the sheep inspection also officially served as the Shangshu order of the Great Zhou.

Huan Wu showed his closeness to the new Shang Shuling of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and despite everyone's criticism, he added the concubine of the Huan family to the Yang family.

For a time, in addition to the Huan family in the Shendu, the three families of Su, Chang, and Yang who married with the Huan family were in the limelight, and they suddenly became prominent and high-ranking families.

Although Su Zhe died, Huan Wu's kindness to the Su family has not decreased by half a point, and he wants to be more generous than in the past. Chang Yu no longer has the position of Taifu, but the status of the old minister of the Great Zhou is there after all, and no one dares to despise it. And the new Shang Shuling's sheep inspection has also become a hot figure in the gods.

Unlike Su Zhe, the link between the Son of Heaven and the Liang Hou Mansion, Yang Jian did not have a good impression of the Xia family. Every time Huan Wu deliberates, he will summon this cronie to his side, and his trust is overwhelming.

Of course, with such a large amount of capital under Huan Wu, he will naturally not be untargeted. He knows that the sheep inspection and the sheep clan are very important to the beam.

In the Lianghou Mansion, Huan Wu summoned several close vassals and sheep inspectors to the front to discuss the country.

"Now that our army has decided to recuperate, do you have any suggestions?"

The Liang army shifted from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and naturally the policies of the upper and lower levels were different from those in the past. Huan Wu controls the land of the seven states of the Central Plains, and if he concentrates on economic development, no vassal state can compare.

The economic construction of the states had been laid out some time earlier, and the rest was the deployment of the Liang army.

No longer taking the capture of the world as the first task, but turning to defending against the invasion of various vassal states, this does not mean that the Liang army does not need to strengthen its combat power.

In fact, on the southern border of Liang, the only major disaster was Shu. The rest, regardless of Wu Chu, did not have the strength to challenge Liang for the time being. Moreover, Wu and Chu have always been led by naval armies and lack elite infantry. The five thousand Chu troops were killed in a pit and Hou Shen died in Xuzhou, which made Wu Chu even worse, so that Wu Chu only had the power to protect himself.

However, with the current land combat capability of the Liang army, it is not possible to gain an advantage over the Shu army. There is only one way to change, and that is to get an elite cavalry.

"The minister has a saying, our infantry is highly powerful, but it lacks elite cavalry. Wu Chu and others, the four realms of different races, can still be dealt with. However, if it is against the Shangshu army, it is far from enough. Zhou Nan's defeat is an example. Therefore, the first task of our army is to get a fine cavalry first. ”

Yang Jian gave up, and when it came to Zhou Nan's defeat, he didn't hesitate at all. Although he was not a vassal of Huan Wu, he claimed to be a courtier.

In fact, after he became a sheep, the previous Yang Jian no longer existed. After that, time will change, and the Huan clan will not be able to use the so-called feud of the Ninth World to find trouble for them. Because according to the legal system, the Yang family has nothing to do with the Yang family. If the Huan family finds fault again, not only will it not be supported, but it will also be criticized by all the families.

Several of Huanwu's cronies present nodded, Zhou Nan was defeated, and they all studied it afterwards. The most important lesson was that the Liang army lacked elite cavalry, which led to the rout.

Zhao Ye looked thoughtfully at the sheep inspection.

"Six years ago, our army attacked Youzhou, and we wanted to use this battle to swallow Jingyun's Youning Iron Cavalry, but Jingyun was stimulated by Yang Xian, and finally preferred to hide in the bitter cold land of western Liaoning rather than surrender to our army. In the past six years, we have also tried to re-establish a cavalry, but all attempts have failed. Is there a way to do Shang Shuling? ”

There are only two elite cavalry in the Great Zhou, one is the Youning Iron Cavalry under the command of Yan Guojingyun, and the other is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry of Liangzhou. The cavalry armies that the Liang army had built in the past after these two armies eventually became nondescript.

Zhao Ye originally thought that Yang Jian wanted to start from these two directions and offer some strange strategies, but who knew that Yang Jian said: "The minister has been outside the Saiwai for many years, fighting against the barbarians, and knows the steppe wolf riding tactics. The minister has been thinking for many years, integrating the practice of the army, obtaining its essence, and is willing to train a fine cavalry for the lord. ”

The ministers were very surprised, but when they looked at Huan Wu, his face did not change at all, and he obviously already knew it. It seems that to say it now is nothing more than to publicize the resolution.

When all the strategists thought of this, they all had a clear look.

"Let's talk about it."

"There are three war horses in the world who can be called high-grade, one is the Xiliang horse, the second is the grassland war horse, and the third is the Longcheng bone horse. Among them, there are many varieties of grassland war horses, and the land of Youyan, the land of Hehuang and the land of the Northern Desert are the best. The first emperor collapsed, the world was in chaos, and the barbarian demons crossed the river again and seized the land of the river. If our army wants to build a fine cavalry, the first step is to expel the Hehuang aliens and establish a pasture for storing war horses, so as to prepare for the training of cavalry in the future. ”

In the past, the Liang army attacked the world and wanted to establish a cavalry army on a large scale, but there was a shortage of talents, and secondly, the materials and armaments were very tight. But now it's different, the first step that Yang Jian said, Liang Jun is fully capable of doing it.

"Where did the war horse come from?"

Zhao Ye asked, you can't let the soldiers of the Liang army try their luck in the land of Hehuang all over the world! After all, good stallions are hard to come by, and even if the Liang army sends a large-scale capture team, it may not be able to obtain a sufficient number of war horses in a short period of time.

"You can make a good alliance with Jingyun and Zhu Zi, exchange trade, give heavy profits, obtain horse breeds, and at the same time seize the land of Hehuang, and then find war horses, both prongedly."

Yang Jian said a word, and the faces of several Huan Wu's advisers changed.
